KIULU: Construction of the Kiulu sub-district Secretariat costing RM5 million will start  soon, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor. 

He said the State Government led by Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) acted promptly  to elevate Kiulu into a sub-district within three months of coming into power and to ensure  the construction of the sub-district secretariat. 

"We will develop Kiulu as a tourism centre because it has among the most community based tourism (CoBT) operators in the State, which Kiulu Assemblyman Datuk Joniston  Bangkuai has worked hard to turn Kiulu into a CoBT tourism hub," he said when opening  Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (Gagasan Rakyat) Kiulu annual general meeting at the  Community Hall here today 

Hajiji who is president of Gagasan Rakyat also urged party members to be vigilant on  the slander culture prevailing in social media. 

"I want all our members to correct all these false accusations in the social media spread  by irresponsible people. 

"The government has achieved much successes yet many want to deny it through  defamation. We must not let the people be distracted by the actions of these  irresponsible quarters," he said. 

The GRS chairman said it was crucial for Gagasan Rakyat to work together with its  partners to thwart attempts to destabilise the government. 

Hajiji also assured he would fight for all the parties in Kiulu. 

However, as Chief Minister, he said he would fight for all the people of Sabah regardless  of race, religion and background. 

Also present were Kiulu Assemblyman, Datuk Joniston Bangkuai, Gagasan Rakyat Kiulu Division Chief Janih Bangud and party and component leaders, including Star Secretary  General Datuk Edward Linggu and Upko Vice President Fairuz Bandar.
